One of the students in my class thinking about carving a last supper. He thinking of carving this in the round rather than as a relief. With this in mind we discussed several ways to arrange the composition. I offered to find some images that might help with the creative process. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Levoca_Last_Supper.jpg http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Giotto_-_Scrovegni_-_-29-_-_Last_Supper.jpg http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Last_Supper_by_Theophanes_the_Cretan.jpg Some other images that may be interesting can be found at: http://www.museum-replicas.com/wc_ProductDetails.asp?PID=5969&SCID = http://www.easterinthepark.net/lastsupper.html http://www.abcgallery.com/R/rubens/rubens102.html In addition, check out the Last Supper images at Wikimedia Commons: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Last_supper

I ran across fromoldbooks.org which is a site with thousands of high resolution images from old or rare books. Most of these images are now public domain. This should make one more useful reference site.

Here is a photo of Ricky's finished sign for Jenny Ellerbe Photography. Good work Ricky.

This week fellow woodcarver Floyd Brigdon came to visit our class. Here are some of the pictures he took of the usual crowd. Here is Doug Oliver with a piece he is working on. You can see more of his work at http://www.texaswoodcarver.com/ .

Here is a small wood burning I recently did on the plain cross of a rosary. It is a simple pattern, but I think it has a nice effect.

Here is a carving that a student of mine is working on. It will be a sign for Jenny Ellerbe .

This is the tool cabinet that I built to go above my workbench. An adjustable lamp is mounted just above it.
